Futurity Trophy Tips
Bookmakers will have you believe the final Group 1 of the Flat season is a two-horse race between Diego Velazquez and Ancient Wisdom but there is more than a chance the layers have underestimated the claims of DANCING GEMINI (best price 5/1) and Roger Teal’s crack two-year-old deserves to be played according at his current odds.

Working his way through the ranks as the season progresses, an impressive victory (and on the clock) at Newbury two starts ago prompted connections of Dancing Gemini to raise their sights a little higher and in what looked a competitive renewal of the Flying Scotsman Stakes over Saturday’s course, he duly made the breakthrough on his first attempt in pattern company.
Relishing the soft underfoot conditions on Town Moor, the son of Camelot impressed with the way he quickened right away from his toiling rivals in the closing stages and just as taking was the speed figure he posted – way better than anything achieved by his two main market rivals he will face at the weekend so far to date.
Not stopping as he hit the line over seven furlongs that day and bred to stay middle distances, the step up to a mile will undoubtedly play into his strengths and being one of only two horses entered who have solid form at the track on soft ground, his current 5/1 quotes appear all out of whack.
